"Afghans fed up with government, U.S." ?

Well you can probably imagine how "fed up" we Americans are with having to step in all the time to keep you all from slaughtering each other. Or even worse, when we take the European approach of ignoring the problem only to have the world maon whine and bellyache about how the US is doing nothing. Damned if you do damned if you don't. Gee, I can't wait for the Chinese to take the helm, as the Europeans will never get their collective doo-doo together. Typical Eurothink, paralysis through analysis followed up with a heavy dose of hindsight ! Brilliant !

Well Karzai is one huge disappointment. On the streets his nickname is "The Mayor of Kabul" who spends his time straightening cushions, pictures hung crooked and other frivolous and unnecessary things, while his country burns. Kinda like Boy George II.

This nis liberal anti Republican propaganda. These interviews are faked to create an illusion of discontent with the US.

Those gullible should be ashamed of themselves. These liberals are diminishing our great progress and rthe success stort that Afghanistan has now become.

This story is utter piffle and honorable folk will not believe a word of it.

"This nis liberal anti Republican propaganda. These interviews are faked to create an illusion of discontent with the US."

That's it bud, the bearded, turbaned men gathered beneath a large, leafy tree in rural eastern Nangarhar province are doing it to influence the US elections.

Heh, I wouldn't when this would start up again.

And just like clockwork, the usual 'liberal media anti republican bias' schtick.

I guess the 'liberal media' is at fault for "misquoting" and totally "misrepresenting" what experts like Doug Wankel are saying, someone with 4 years of boots on the ground experience of what is actually going on in Afghanistan, not safely "oberving" from a computer monitor.

I guess any news that is not blatantly cheery and wonderful news 24/7 coming out of Afghanistan and Iraq is the fault of the liberal anti republican/american media.

How convenient of an excuse, can be used in any situation.

Moiabullah, a black-bearded Taliban from the troubled province of Ghazni, fled to Iran after the Taliban collapsed in 2001 but returned several months ago.

Wow. It's like the media is trying to say Iran is some kind of, oh, I dunno, axis of evil or something.

The discontent with the US is NO illusion, trust me! It's real, worldwide and pervasive.

Something you might want to remember is that the Taliban is not al-Quaeda. Ok? The Taliban never attacked us. They did support our attackers for a while, but they paid for that. And the Iranians supported some Taliban neighbors, which means you are going for guilty by association by association. If you don't agree, then remember how the U.S. supported Saddam. How do you propose we punish ourselves? Oh, I am sorry, I just remembered that consistency was not your bag!

Cirroc,

You've made it too complicated for them to understand.

One nice big multi-national terra group that hates our freedoms is such a better umbrella for neocon supporters to cower underneath.

Something you might want to remember is that the Taliban is not al-Quaeda. Ok?

Something you might want to understand is that in the end what unites the extremists in Afghanistan with those in Iran - and those in London or Paris for that matter - is their hatred of anything not sanctioned by the 8th century world view that the illiterate brigand who founded Islam espoused.

Why be shy? Bin Laden, Ahmadinejhad, Saddam Hussein, Nassar, Arafat, they all called it by its name - the ummah.

imgold: "Well you can probably imagine how "fed up" we Americans are with having to step in all the time to keep you all from slaughtering each other."

No one asked you to go there, so get out. Easy enough, especially since they're slaughtering each other a hell of a lot more since you arrived than they were before (particularly in Iraq).

Ah, the hypocrisy! Though you may be literate in most cases (it seems you really don't bother reading the way things really are, or you simply can't read it well enough to understand), you are certainly no less extreme than the people you point the finger at. In fact, I'm willing to bet if you had your way, you'd have all Muslims destroyed like so many others who espouse your views truly want. Funny how you put Saddam and Bin Laden in the same pool; we all know that's what created these disasters and war in the first place, and the boiling hatred that has resulted (both countries failing in democracy, etc.).

Anyway, I don't expect you to understand.

"Why be shy?"

Heh, because the fact that lots and lots of people want to hurt westerners has to be dumbed down for certain people.

That's why half the people in your list have had western support at one time or another. From the highest levels. And by this I don't mean a heaty pat on the back and a diplomatic box of cigars for chrimbo.

And that's why it's easier to talk about "al-Qaida in Iraq" or the "Taliban" in Afghanistan when really it's lots and lots of different peeople who don't like western interference in their lands and hate us more by the day...

It's a big pool - don't forget Nassar, Arafat, Khomeini, Qaddaffi, Nasrallah, Ahmadhinejhad, Assad, Zawahiri. And those are only the modern proponents of jihad without end...

Your very typical Lefty habit of projection is embarrassing:

I'm willing to bet if you had your way, you'd have all Muslims destroyed like so many others who espouse your views truly want.

You do an awful lot of assuming. Got any facts to bolster your argument?

"Afghans fed up with government, U.S."

Some people have a short memory. Well, if the Taliban ever came back, these people would be crying to have the current Afghan government and U.S. troops back.
